Dear Customer Service,

(A) My doctor has told me that I need to look for large print magazines and books. I'd like to know
whether there's a large print version of your magazine. Please contact me if this is something you
offer. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Martin Gray

(B) Currently, I have just over a year to go on my subscription to Economy Tomorrow and would like
to continue my subscription as I have enjoyed the magazine for many years. Unfortunately, due to my
bad eyesight, I have trouble reading your magazine.

(C) I am writing in regard to my magazine subscription.

There was no choice next morning but to turn in my private reminiscence of Belleville.

(A) Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned everyone's but
mine. I was anxiously expecting for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediately after school for
discipline when I saw him lift my paper from his desk and rap for the class's attention.

(B) He was reading my words out loud to the entire class. What's more, the entire class was listening
attentively. Then somebody laughed, then the entire class was laughing, and not in contempt and
ridicule, but with openhearted enjoyment. I did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what I was
feeling was pure ecstasy at this startling demonstration that my words had the power to make people
laugh.

(C) "Now, boys," he said, "I want to read you an essay. This is titled 'The Art of Eating Spaghetti.'" And
he started to read. My words!

3. p2-no.20

We usually take time out only when we really need to switch off, and when this happens we are
often overtired, sick, and in need of recuperation.

(A) Take this as permission to set aside some time for yourself! Our need for time in which to do what
we choose is increasingly urgent in an overconnected, overwhelmed, and overstimulated world.

(B) All these negative connotations mean we tend to steer clear of it. Well, I am about to change your
perception of the importance of me time, to persuade you that you should view it as vital for your
health and wellbeing.
(C) Me time is complicated by negative associations with escapism, guilt, and regret as well as
overwhelm, stress, and fatigue.

4. p3-no.21

Perhaps worse than attempting to get the bad news out of the way is attempting to soften it or
simply not address it at all.

(A) This "Mum Effect" ― a term coined by psychologists Sidney Rosen and Abraham Tesser in the
early 1970s ― happens because people want to avoid becoming the target of others' negative
emotions. We all have the opportunity to lead change, yet it often requires of us the courage to
deliver bad news to our superiors.

(B) We don't want to be the innocent messenger who falls before a firing line. When our survival
instincts kick in, they can override our courage until the truth of a situation gets watered down.

(C) "The Mum Effect and the resulting filtering can have devastating effects in a steep hierarchy,"
writes Robert Sutton, an organizational psychologist. "What starts out as bad news becomes happier
and happier as it travels up the ranks ― because after each boss hears the news from his or her
subordinates, he or she makes it sound a bit less bad before passing it up the chain."

5. p3-no.22

Most parents think that if our child would just "behave," we could stay calm as parents.

(A) Staying calm enough to respond constructively to all that childish behavior ― and the stormy
emotions behind it ― requires that we grow, too. If we can use those times when our buttons get
pushed to reflect, not just react, we can notice when we lose equilibrium and steer ourselves back on
track. This inner growth is the hardest work there is, but it's what enables you to become a more
peaceful parent, one day at a time.

(B) Parenting isn't about what our child does, but about how we respond. In fact, most of what we call
parenting doesn't take place between a parent and child but within the parent. When a storm brews,
a parent's response will either calm it or trigger a fullscale tsunami.

(C) The truth is that managing our own emotions and actions is what allows us to feel peaceful as
parents. Ultimately we can't control our children or the obstacles they will face ― but we can always
control our own actions.

6. p3-no.23

We have already seen that learning is much more efficient when done at regular intervals: rather
than cramming an entire lesson into one day, we are better off spreading out the learning.
(A) Quite the contrary: while we sleep, our brain remains active; it runs a specific algorithm that
replays the important events it recorded during the previous day and gradually transfers them into a
more efficient compartment of our memory.

(B) This is one of the most important neuroscience discoveries of the last thirty years: sleep is not just
a period of inactivity or a garbage collection of the waste products that the brain accumulated while
we were awake.

(C) The reason is simple: every night, our brain consolidates what it has learned during the day.

7. p3-no.24

From the earliest times, healthcare services have been recognized to have two equal aspects,
namely clinical care and public healthcare.

(A) In classical Greek mythology, the god of medicine, Asklepios, had two daughters, Hygiea and
Panacea.

(B) Nevertheless, the quality of health that human populations enjoy is attributable less to surgical
dexterity, innovative pharmaceutical products, and bioengineered devices than to the availability of
public sanitation, sewage management, and services which control the pollution of the air, drinking
water, urban noise, and food for human consumption. The human right to the highest attainable
standard of health depends on public healthcare services no less than on the skills and equipment of
doctors and hospitals.

(C) The former was the goddess of preventive health and wellness, or hygiene, and the latter the
goddess of treatment and curing. In modern times, the societal ascendancy of medical professionalism
has caused treatment of sick patients to overshadow those preventive healthcare services provided by
the less heroic figures of sanitary engineers, biologists, and governmental public health officers.

CarlGustaf Rossby was one of a group of notable Scandinavian researchers who worked with the
Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes at the University of Bergen.

(A) He earned a degree in mathematical physics at the University of Stockholm in 1918, but after
hearing a lecture by Bjerknes, and apparently bored with Stockholm, he moved to the newly
established Geophysical Institute in Bergen. In 1925, Rossby received a scholarship from the Sweden
America Foundation to go to the United States, where he joined the United States Weather Bureau.

(B) Based in part on his practical experience in weather forecasting, Rossby had become a supporter
of the "polar front theory," which explains the cyclonic circulation that develops at the boundary
between warm and cold air masses. In 1947, Rossby accepted the chair of the Institute of
Meteorology, which had been set up for him at the University of Stockholm, where he remained until
his death ten years later.

(C) While growing up in Stockholm, Rossby received a traditional education.

By noticing the relation between their own actions and resultant external changes, infants develop
selfefficacy, a sense that they are agents of the perceived changes.

(A) They have visually contrasting and moving faces. They produce sound, provide touch, and have
interesting smells.

(B) In addition, people engage with infants by exaggerating their facial expressions and inflecting their
voices in ways that infants find fascinating. But most importantly, these antics are responsive to
infants' vocalizations, facial expressions, and gestures; people vary the pace and level of their behavior
in response to infant actions. Consequentially, early social interactions provide a context where infants
can easily notice the effect of their behavior.

(C) Although infants can notice the effect of their behavior on the physical environment, it is in early
social interactions that infants most readily perceive the consequence of their actions. People have
perceptual characteristics that virtually assure that infants will orient toward them.

Adam Smith pointed out that specialization, where each of us focuses on one specific skill, leads
to a general improvement of everybody's wellbeing.

(A) The idea is simple and powerful. By specializing in just one activity ― such as food raising,
clothing production, or home construction ― each worker gains mastery over the particular activity.

(B) At the same time, without the ability to buy food on the market, it would not be possible to be a
specialist home builder or clothing maker, since it would be necessary to farm for one's own survival.
Thus Smith realized that the division of labor is limited by the extent of the market, whereas the
extent of the market is determined by the degree of specialization.

(C) Specialization makes sense, however, only if the specialist can subsequently trade his or her output
with the output of specialists in other lines of activity. It would make no sense to produce more food
than a household needs unless there is a market outlet to exchange that scarce food for clothing,
shelter, and so forth.

11. p5-no.31

It is not the peasant's goal to produce the highest possible timeaveraged crop yield, averaged
over many years.

(A) If your timeaveraged yield is marvelously high as a result of the combination of nine great years
and one year of crop failure, you will still starve to death in that one year of crop failure before you
can look back to congratulate yourself on your great time-averaged yield.

(B) Instead, the peasant's aim is to make sure to produce a yield above the starvation level in every
single year, even though the time-averaged yield may not be highest. That's why field scattering may
make sense.

(C) If you have just one big field, no matter how good it is on the average, you will starve when the
inevitable occasional year arrives in which your one field has a low yield. But if you have many
different fields, varying independently of each other, then in any given year some of your fields will
produce well even when your other fields are producing poorly.

12. p5-no.32

There are several reasons why support may not be effective.

(A) Receiving help with a self-relevant task can make you feel bad about yourself, and this can
undermine the potential positive effects of the help. For example, if your selfconcept rests, in part, on
your great cooking ability, it may be a blow to your ego when a friend helps you prepare a meal for
guests because it suggests that you're not the master chef you thought you were.

(B) One possible reason is that receiving help could be a blow to selfesteem. A recent study by
Christopher Burke and Jessica Goren at Lehigh University examined this possibility.

(C) According to the threat to self-esteem model, help can be perceived as supportive and loving, or
it can be seen as threatening if that help is interpreted as implying incompetence. According to Burke
and Goren, support is especially likely to be seen as threatening if it is in an area that is selfrelevant
or self-defining ― that is, in an area where your own success and achievement are especially
important.

13. p6-no.33

As well as making sense of events through narratives, historians in the ancient world established
the tradition of history as a source of moral lessons and reflections.

(A) This continues to be one of the functions of history.

(B) The history writing of Livy or Tacitus, for instance, was in part designed to examine the behavior of
heroes and villains, meditating on the strengths and weaknesses in the characters of emperors and
generals, providing exemplars for the virtuous to imitate or avoid.
(C) French chronicler Jean Froissart said he had written his accounts of chivalrous knights fighting in
the Hundred Years' War "so that brave men should be inspired thereby to follow such examples."
Today, historical studies of Lincoln, Churchill, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King, Jr. perform the same
function.

14. p6-no.34

Psychologist Christopher Bryan finds that when we shift our emphasis from behavior to character,
people evaluate choices differently.

(A) "Don't Drink and Drive" could be rephrased as: "Don't Be a Drunk Driver." The same thinking can
be applied to originality. When a child draws a picture, instead of calling the artwork creative, we can
say "You are creative."

(B) His team was able to cut cheating in half: instead of "Please don't cheat," they changed the appeal
to "Please don't be a cheater." When you're urged not to cheat, you can do it and still see an ethical
person in the mirror. But when you're told not to be a cheater, the act casts a shadow; immorality is
tied to your identity, making the behavior much less attractive.

(C) Cheating is an isolated action that gets evaluated with the logic of consequence: Can I get away
with it? Being a cheater evokes a sense of self, triggering the logic of appropriateness: What kind of
person am I, and who do I want to be? In light of this evidence, Bryan suggests that we should
embrace nouns more thoughtfully.

15. p6-no.35

Taking a stand is important because you become a beacon for those individuals who are your
people, your tribe, and your audience.

(A) Displaying your perspective lets prospective (and current) customers know that you don't just sell
your products or services.

(B) When you raise your viewpoint up like a flag, people know where to find you; it becomes a
rallying point.

(C) The best marketing is never just about selling a product or service, but about taking a stand ―
showing an audience why they should believe in what you're marketing enough to want it at any cost,
simply because they agree with what you're doing. Products can be changed or adjusted if they aren't
functioning, but rallying points align with the values and meaning behind what you do.

16. p6-no.36

If DNA were the only thing that mattered, there would be no particular reason to build meaningful
social programs to pour good experiences into children and protect them from bad experiences.

(A) So how does the massively complicated brain, with its eightysix billion neurons, get built from
such a small recipe book? The answer relies on a clever strategy implemented by the genome: build
incompletely and let world experience refine.

(B) But brains require the right kind of environment if they are to correctly develop.

(C) When the first draft of the Human Genome Project came to completion at the turn of the
millennium, one of the great surprises was that humans have only about twenty thousand genes. This
number came as a surprise to biologists: given the complexity of the brain and the body, it had been
assumed that hundreds of thousands of genes would be required.

17. p7-no.37

One benefit of reasons and arguments is that they can foster humility.

(A) One of the arguments gets refuted ― that is, it is shown to fail. In that case, the person who
depended on the refuted argument learns that he needs to change his view. That is one way to
achieve humility ― on one side at least. Another possibility is that neither argument is refuted.

(B) Both have a degree of reason on their side. Even if neither person involved is convinced by the
other's argument, both can still come to appreciate the opposing view. They also realize that, even if
they have some truth, they do not have the whole truth. They can gain humility when they recognize
and appreciate the reasons against their own view.

(C) If two people disagree without arguing, all they do is yell at each other. No progress is made.
Both still think that they are right. In contrast, if both sides give arguments that articulate reasons for
their positions, then new possibilities open up.

18. p7-no.38

Adaptation involves changes in a population, with characteristics that are passed from one
generation to the next.

(A) This is a temporary change, and you won't pass the temporary change on to future generations.
However, the capacity to produce skin pigments is inherited.

(B) This is different from acclimation ― an individual organism's changes in response to an altered
environment. For example, if you spend the summer outside, you may acclimate to the sunlight: your
skin will increase its concentration of dark pigments that protect you from the sun.

(C) For populations living in intensely sunny environments, individuals with a good ability to produce
skin pigments are more likely to thrive, or to survive, than people with a poor ability to produce
pigments, and that trait becomes increasingly common in subsequent generations. If you look around,
you can find countless examples of adaptation. The distinctive long neck of a giraffe, for example,
developed as individuals that happened to have longer necks had an advantage in feeding on the
leaves of tall trees.

19. p7-no.39

On any day of the year, the tropics and the hemisphere that is experiencing its warm season
receive much more solar radiation than do the polar regions and the colder hemisphere.

(A) Averaged over the course of the year, the tropics and latitudes up to about 40' receive more total
heat than they lose by radiation. Latitudes above 40' receive less total heat than they lose by
radiation.

(B) This inequality produces the necessary conditions for the operation of a huge, global-scale engine
that takes on heat in the tropics and gives it off in the polar regions. Its working fluid is the
atmosphere, especially the moisture it contains.

(C) Air is heated over the warm earth of the tropics, expands, rises, and flows away both northward
and southward at high altitudes, cooling as it goes. It descends and flows toward the equator again
from more northerly and southerly latitudes.

20. p7-no.40

Greenwashing involves misleading a consumer into thinking a good or service is more


environmentally friendly than it really is.

(A) Greenwashing ranges from making environmental claims required by law, and therefore irrelevant
(CFC-free for example), to puffery (exaggerating environmental claims) to fraud. Researchers have
shown that claims on products are often too vague or misleading. Some products are labeled
"chemical-free," when the fact is everything contains chemicals, including plants and animals.

(B) Products with the highest number of misleading or unverifiable claims were laundry detergents,
household cleaners, and paints. Environmental advocates agree there is still a long way to go to
ensure shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of the products they buy.
The most common reason for greenwashing is to attract environmentally conscious consumers.

(C) Many consumers do not find out about the false claims until after the purchase. Therefore,
greenwashing may increase sales in the short term. However, this strategy can seriously backfire when
consumers find out they are being deceived.
